They will mail you the gift card...

"Offer available for Angie's List members only"

I just bought one.... CC got charged $5.50

I tried using the coupon code generated to buy Lowes GC online.... Does NOT work at Checkout ... says "Cannot use a GC code to purchase a GC".

I have an Angie's List account which is free, because the service is not available in my area. I logged in and the deal came up as $5 for me. Ordered one, got a receipt indicating that they would mail me the GC. Thanks OP!

Took just 1 min to sign up and pay. Worth a shot.

I got a coupon code, don't see any option to have it mailed to me. I assume this means it is only valid for Lowe's online. Will update if I can use the code to buy a real gift card from Lowes.com and have it shipped to me.

There was an Angie's List free 1 year membership FW deal a few years ago. Tried to use old login but password expired. Recovered password, unchecked membership and paid $5.50 with paypal. Thanks OP.

I didn't notice until after I asked the question, but from the order page:

Potentially a good deal, and potentially a big letdown if a membership is required.

OP, you've been on FW since 2003. You should know how to post properly. The subject line should have more info (Angie's List, membership required?, YMMV, etc.).

The truth hurts? Any of you read the posting guidelines? Nobody likes correction, even when given reasonably. Yep, the deal is dead, and more idiots keep showing up. You can't swing a virtual cat around here without hitting one.

Signed up with my junk mail account, unchecked the $29 membership fee, and it seemed to work fine. It looks like they charge 10% extra (50 cents) for non-members.

I got the e-mail purchase confirmation, plus a second one with a coupon code. It mentions scheduling an appointment. What is this all about?

"Thank you for purchasing a Big Deal! Please keep in mind many deals are very popular and your appointment may be slightly delayed due to the increased volume of customers".

This looks like it's a default message they put up, probably because most of the big deals involve installation, repair, etc.

Membership is $39 per year for me. That is why I cancelled my membership a year ago.

I'm sorry you still can't seem to grasp this all, Ben. I'm only "peeved" about my first post, in which everything I said was absolutely right. Nobody legitimately called me on anything there. Again, I've repeatedly admitted, I was nothing but sarcastic and irreverent from that point on. Of course I expected red then! I'm apparently the only one here that sees all the ensuing irony. But if any of my detractors really wanted to be honest, they'd at least agree I have a valid point about how to post threads, but this is what you get in an online forum. "Apply for the position" is becoming a bit of a cliche.

One last tidbit for you: TextIn other words, you've made your point, Ben. I don't think either of us is going to convince/win over the other. But you sure seem to be enjoying coming back at me again and again despite it being such a waste of time.

So anyway, this deal that never was made for a ridiculous yet amusing thread. Yet another interesting observation on curious perceptions of the anonymous masses on the internet.
